“Are you expecting there to be a next time?” Victoria was furious and didn’t care anymore. “How can Eleanor look at me when I can’t even manage my own daughter–in–law properly?”
“Mom, why were you so angry today?”
Kane walked into the living room at a leisurely pace.
Aria looked at him, her brows furrowed.
“Are you really asking?” Victoria even cursed at him, “Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
“It’s just some unethical media writing things to attract attention,” Kane stopped beside Aria, holding her arm and pulling her into his arms, Tm not even angry, why are you angry?”
Aria stiffened and pushed him subconsciously, but he remained unmoved.
Victoria looked at him meaningfully, then turned to Aria. After a moment, she sat back on the sofa and poured herself a cup of coffee, “If it weren’t for fear of your grandmother’s reprimand, I wouldn’t bother with you guys.”
Kane put his arm around Aria’s shoulder and said, “Then we’ll be leaving first.”
Kane left with Aria.
Victoria slowly raised her eyes, set down the coffee cup, and her expression became puzzled and complex.
She was starting to feel unsure about her son’s attitude towards Aria now.
The moment Aria walked out of the villa, she immediately broke free from Kane’s embrace.
Watching the sudden loss of warmth in his arms, Kane’s gaze fixed on her profile, deep to the extreme.
“Please let me know in advance, Alpha Ravencrest, if you want me to act along with you in front of the elders. I don’t want any unnecessary misunderstandings.”
She had just gonna to leave, when Kane grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her, forcing her to turn to face him, “Don’t you want any misunderstandings?”
